Scott's Pizza Tours

Learn about the history of pizza, see where mozzarella is made, see the oldest pizza places in New York, listen to hilarious stories about pizza, and see where pizza making machines are made. Scott treats pizza like wine - knows how it's made, knows everything there is to know - about ovens, the way it's cooked, the families that make it, everything. Scott's knows everything about pizza, is always researching, always listening. take this tour. it's better than any new york city tour i've been on, maybe better than any tour i've been on. Scott has tried literally thousands of slices around the world. When an Israeli tourist walked by and asked for a brochure, he knew all about how Israeli pizza is delivered and how it tastes. After eating some of the best pizza in NY, we asked him what is his favorite of all time. Even though Scott has had some of the best and highest quality pizza, and pals around with the oldest pizza families in NY he's far from a snob or strict person about pizza. He always says if you like it, then it's good. His favorite pizza is from his hometown pizzeria in New Jersey, the slice he had when he was 8 years old.

Scott's Pizza Tour was my favorite activity in NYC. He is so enthusiastic about pizza and pizza history that it was making me excited too. It was great to see all the sights and hear all his stories about the origins of pizza in America. And the slices along the way were great!

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Scott provides not only the history of pizza as we now know it but adds to the science of pizza-making, including the different gluten properties of summer and winter wheat, water pH in the New York water basin, etc. And he does this with incredible humor, personality, and FUN! The unique walk through Little Italy and Greenwich Village makes you feel like a part of the New York culture. Scott's devotion to you on this tour and his passion for pizza is unsurmountable.

Scott is an engaging and entertaining tour guide who teaches you way more about pizza than you ever thought possible. It's a great way to spend a few hours in New York, well worth your money and time. I have a whole new appreciation for pizza, I now feel like a pizza connoisseur.

As though walking around town and eating pizza wasn't a good enough way to spend a Saturday afternoon, Scott's Pizza Tour completely exceeds expectations with a mind-blowing breadth and depth of pizza expertise. As evidenced by the rest of the reviews, it's obvious that Scott's relentless pizza research and travel has really made the tour top notch. As a local, outside of picking up a few new fave pizza spots, I particularly appreciated learning about a dairy shop that claims to be 'the oldest Italian cheese store in America' (amazing cheeses at seriously affordable prices) and a pizzeria supply store that puts Brooklyn Kitchen to shame. As someone who is generally adverse to structured tours and those who go on them, I've got to give it to Scott for pulling together such a pizzawesome adventure.

This is a great activity if you've done the usual tourist attractions and are looking for something different. Scott is personable, and his enthusiasm for pizza is infectious. He's gone to great lengths to study the history of pizza in NY, as well as what unique elements combine to make NY pizza the triumph that it is. I had hoped the activity would be a little more of a culinary adventure, with stops at the best pizza places in Manhattan, but found it to be more of a tour of historically significant pizza places. Still - a really fun thing and different thing to do, especially with a teen!

What could be better than walking around NYC on a beautiful fall day, being entertained, and having a few slices of great NY pizza. Scott was interesting, fun, and had an almost scarely knowledge of pizza. I highly recommend this tour.

My middle aged , but young at heart, book group took the tour on a beautiful fall day with Scott. We learned so much about pizza, its construction and history and any other interesting fact you'd care to know. You will get a slice of life in Lower Manhattan...don't want to say too much since being surprised is part of the fun. Not sure it would have been quite so much fun if it rained. We ate our second slice in a little park across the street from our second pizzeria with Scott serving us as we rested on scattered benches. Scott is fun, enthusiastic, thoroughly devoted to learning all there is to know about pizza. The enthusiasm is infectious( in a good way). Take the tour.

Scott's Pizza Tour was a delightfully different way to see and learn about Little Italy and the origins of pizza in the USA!! Scott is absolutely passionate and extremely informative about all aspects of pizza----from the cheeses, dough, sauces, ovens, and even styles of eating a delectable slice of heaven!! The walking tour included visits to three pizza establishments, three slices of different pizzas, tours of ingredient suppliers, and fascinating stories and facts about PIZZA!!! An absolutely delicious way to discover wht makes NYC pizzas unique!

I really enjoyed the Pizza Tour. Scott was so enthusiastic and full of information. He was fun to be with. The pizza we tasted was delicious. I especially liked the stops at the other related stores e.g.Alleva Dairy, kitchen supply. I would recommend this tour to anyone. It's a wonderful way to to expenience some parts of NYC that might not have been on past routes. I definitely will go back to the pizza restaurants.

I was a dubious about going on this tour as I though it might be a little boring however I thoroughly enjoyed it. Scott has a great personality and his enthusiasm is amazing. I never thought a pizza tour could be so interesting and fun. I had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour.

Scott did a great job and is well versed in the pizza field. He knows the NYC pizza scene and stays on top of it. Two out of 3 places we went to on the tour were recommended prior to visiting NYC so I knew he was on point. The tour lived up to expectations..........great job.

Scott is enthusiastic about pizza ! Scott is so knowledgeable and willing to share info on pizza, pizzerias both local and throughout the country. He also shares history behind pizza and NYC. Highly recommend to all!

Fantastic!! I took my 78 and 75 year old parents-We loved the pizza- we loved Scott and we learned a lot of fun stuff. Scott's love for pizza is contagious- he really knows a lot about Pizza and it shows. We have already told 20 people about it- my father can't stop talking about it. We will send friends and family and we will return. The pizza was awesome! Thanks Scott, The Lefton's from Saint Louis 9/13 Pizza Bus tour
